Today, In Stanzas

Feb 10, 2010 14:45

No school today,
No school tomorrow.
Had the weekend,
And three days...

Nearly a week in this house...
It's snowing again.
It wouldn't be so bad,
If it wasn't blowing

The wind makes it hard
To look outside. 
I can't see anything...
...but white.

Dishes are done.
Scrubbed the kitchen floor
Scrubbed the bathroom down
I just...scrub.

Dwayne snatched the phone.
Talking to Katie, I guess
Drinking some beer
Like Jimmy.

Everyone's home
Wouldn't dare leave
What with the wind
And the snow

I'm cold.
It's cold.
Is anyone else
Cold?

Thinking of crawling
Back into bed
I'm tired
Tired of doing nothing

Haven't gotten dressed
Shuffling around in pajamas
Can't figure out
Why I'm so tired

Thought about baking cookies
Got everything out
Decided not to
And I left it

Dad's still asleep
Nick's playing a video game
Jim and Dwayne are in the other bedroom
Can't find Mike or Chris

I'm just sitting here
Waiting on the snow
To stop and start
Start and stop....

I guess I'll go back to bed
I don't even know what time it is
5? 10?
Good night.
